If I enable a local directory install source, and I then choose either "Install and Remove Software" or "System Update", the "reading package information" screen appears, and after about 10 seconds it closes. And that's it. Yast won't go any further. However, online update still works just fine. But I can't install anything from a directory , or even my SuSE DVD. If I disable the local directory install source, then Yast will install from the DVD, etc.
